Cotic Cascade review, drop bar MTB or Gravel Bike?

[@markjones3551]

Great review….cant decide if I want an xc mtb or a gravel bike…..this could be the answer

[@alecmachenry3806]

Spot on. They are proper fun to ride, big rides and hour long blast round the local. Great real life review.

I love these sort of bikes. Nice review.

Been looking for a "gravel" bike that avoids toe overlap. Be interested to hear your thoughts on the Cotic Cascade Vs Fustle Causeway

[@ukgravelco]

Hi, two very different beasts, the cascade is very much a drop bar MTB & the fustle is a gravel bike with MTB tendencies. The fustle is much lighter too but the cascade "rides light" you'll DH faster having to take less care to pick a line on the Cascade but the fustle does that a lot better than a road bike geom based gravel bike.

@@ukgravelco interesting response. I also have a nice 29er hardtail, so while I'm looking for something with more of an off road bias, I don't want too much overlap with the hardtail.

[@alexball756]

What front mudguard are you using on the bike?

[@ukgravelco]

It's a mudhugger FR

Actual UK "gravel" conditions :-) Cracking RV of a brilliantly designed bike.
TransWales awaits.

Ooh, I'm likely to end up in a spot of bother now, mate... I'd best hide the credit card.

[@ukgravelco]

I know, I don't need another bike but....
